I swear I looked right at the solution and thought: that won't work.  I just need one more mirror!!! 

I didn't. 

Good puzzle!

In this game DB with not enough mirrors is something like jokes!  :)
Pls use only C-bombs.  Good luck!

no! just use the DBeam like you're supposed to!  ;)
there ARE enough mirrors, just work out the route for the DBeam and you're laughing!  8)

I think you miss the point. It seems to me as if Yum-Yum is saying you can also beat this by only using the available Conversion Bombs. That would be truly impressive.

As for the correct path, I completely fail to find it.

[NFITC1]

I found the path, but the problem was the creeper clean up after destroying the emitters. There's probably a faster way to do it because the average is around 8 mins and it took me nearly 16. :(

EDIT:
NM, got 6:23 on second go.

Spoiler

The path I used is on the extreme right, but the Beam had to go up to get there. It speeds it up just a tad to create multiple nexuses as you dig downwards.

I used the Cbombs to clean up all creeper (moved them down on the left side, built a shield there and moved them into the creeper pool). If that fails detonate them right above the DB.

@G yes you could use this as a hint ;)

Don't read!

It would be easier if the DB was attached to the other terrain

I'm still one mirror short

edit: nevermind, once i implemented my one mirror short strategy i saw how to improve on it by one mirror

[StorminASU]

I can't figure this map out at all.  Any hints for a newbie.  I am trying to use the far right site, with the DB pointed to the left of the screen and the couple rows of ground to the right of it removed, but I'm falling like 3 mirrors short of being able to get in the creeper and point it at the line of emitters.  Thanks in advance!

ah perhaps i did, no worries! still doing it with CBombs took me ages! (well i gave up the CBomb route when i saw the DBeam path  ::) but it is do-able with CBombs only i think, just many reloads i guess)
G, or anyone else, if you want a spoiler i could PM you, just let me know.
this was one of the most devious maps i've come across

hey stormin. PM me if you want the solution, or just a clue. i don't want to give clues here cos it's such a puzzling map. later dude

Clever idea, but yeesh, if I can kill an emitter once I can kill it five times, or ten, or a thousand.  Sitting and waiting for nullifiers gets boring after a while.

The idea is to NOT "Sitting and waiting..." - attack the Emitters aggressively and you can take about 5 minutes off your time.

I did.  But when I've filled every available space with nullifiers I still have to wait for them to build and then to count down.  And then do it again, and again...

i cant figure this out? please help there are not enough mirrows

But, indeed, there are enough mirrors. The true challenge is to find the one and only path that will lead you to victory. :)
